"The latest major label identity crisis from these former punk lifers has their biggest hooks and biggest production to date‚??leap-frogging right over their Bruce Springsteen moment (see 2007‚??s New Wave) to their Bon Jovi moment. Not that this is a bad thing: Everything is brighter, more polished, more immediate and gleaming with major keys. It‚??s a huge record, from the ‚??Born To Run‚?Ě glockenspiels to the ‚??I Melt With You‚?Ě countermelodies. Frontman Tom Gabel has grown out of trying to justify his life as crust-kid-turned-rock star, and has become downright nostalgic for it‚??shouting, ‚??Do you remember when you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire?‚?Ě Consider this a melancholy triumph for those who currently cover up their star tattoos with long sleeve shirts.‚??Christopher R. Weingarten"

Titus Andronicus is still one of the best for me, Ceremony's release is one of my favorite punk records so far this year. Also, many people didn't enjoy the new Broken Social Scene, but i really liked that it.

I think they're one of the most underrated bands of all time. I think the new albums was great ‚?? but they always have solid releases . It's good to see fellow fans on here. I listened to an old interview when they were guests on Democracy Now yesterday, from way back in 2003. (Which is ironic, because they later kinda gave Democracy Now/Amy Goodman shit on 'Un.')

Wagner at the Opera was the best moment on ABCDEFG. I wish they would come to the U.S. for a tour.

They've gone through a bunch of phases. Never Mind The Ballots and Pictures Of Starving Children Sell Records are the only two in that vein. Anarchy was a fantastic album, but a bit more alternative sounding. Of the newer stuff, ABCDEFG is great, as is The Boy Bands Have Won. These days, their sound is folky with huge harmonies.

I'd say check those out, along with both live albums, Showbusiness! and Get On With It!

You know what's great about them is what they've done with all the money they've made. Seriously, if more punk bands (like Against Me!) signed major and did the things Chumba did with their money, I wouldn't have as much of a problem.
